   Brand new to WordPress.org...

   I've tried to activate several plugins after manually copying the files onto my server and they always say "Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error."

   This is the third time it's happened. Am I copying them wrong? Whenever I can upload a zip file of the plugin and unzip it in my server, they're fine... but when I copy them manually they get errors.

   WHat does it mean "copy manually"? How do you do that? We usually say that we upload a plugin (and any other files) via FTP.

   What I always do:
   - download
   - unzip
   - read the README
   - upload via FTP (what is instructed)
   - activate

   I'm having this issue as well. I have attempted to activate three different plugins that give me this same message. "plugin could not be activated because it created a fatal error"

   They are:

   "now reading"
   "wp-postrating"
   "post star rating"

   All other plugins I've activated since upgrading to WP2.2 have worked without a hitch.
